Franck,

There are numerous wireless LAN products available. The access points we
had in the AFNOG workshop kit are the Linksys WAP11 units, found at

http://www.linksys.com/products/group.asp?grid=22

and an Orinoco AP-1000.

For cards, we used some Linksys wireless PC cards (also found at the
Linksys URL above), as well as some Orinoco PC cards.

Some folks also used Cisco cards in their laptops.

Another URL that can be useful for sourcing wireless gear is
